This will enable the support for HTTP/2 in Apache. LoadModule http2_module modules/mod_http2.so This version of HTTP is a module that you can enable easily modifying the C:\xampp\apache\conf\nf file and search for the mod_http2.so line and uncomment it (remove the # at the beginning of the line): # Uncomment the line that loads the http2 module to apache Now, the most important part of this tutorial is to enable HTTP/2 in apache. We won't cover too much the support for HTTPS as you may implement this with a different certificate, maybe a trusted one and so, the important thing here is that the host needs to run over HTTPS to work with the HTTP/2 version. Theoretically, with a index.html file in the specified directory, the website should be accessible at (for HTTPS, required for using HTTP/2) and (for HTTP, which forces to HTTP/1.1). SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/server.key" SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/server.crt" For example, using the default HTTPS certificate of XAMPP (which is invalid, you will get a warning in the browser, however, you can skip it and it works), you can build a VirtualHost that points to a simple HTML page like this: # 1. So in order to provide support for HTTP/2, you need to have a VirtualHost that listens on port 443. HTTP/2 won't work without HTTPS (secure protocol), keep that in mind. Create a Virtualhost for your project with HTTPS support In this article, I will explain to you how to easily enable support HTTP/2 locally on your XAMPP installation. Although we are working locally with XAMPP, if you want even better performance, you may switch to version 2 of the protocol.
You can easily see the protocol on the Chrome Devtools by doing a right-click on the table headers and checking the Protocol option. For example, in our development environment of XAMPP in Windows, you will see that the protocol that it uses is HTTP/1.1 e.g PHPMyAdmin:
HTTP/2 is pretty fast in comparison to HTTP/1.1 that is the protocol that a lot of people still use in 2021.
